Heliospheric Weather Expert Service Centre - Case Study |
The H-ESC Case Study support pages provide access to a variety of data and tools that can support post event or test case analysis. From these pages it is also possible to make requests for specific items that require some operator support such as providing access to missing Enlil results or requesting tailored Enlil runs.
Two aspects of case study analysis are supported here:
A list of the currently available products and tools that can be used to support identification of particular events is given below. The CME Timeline (CMETL) and H-ESC product browser (PLOTS) provide access to recently generated information within the H-ESC. The SWE Data provides access to a much broader range of products from the SWE network while the AMDA tools can call upon a huge archive of fully calibrated, high quality science mission data and apply data mining techniques in order to generate lists of intervals matching specific criteria.
The plot viewer provides an interactive interface for accessing the product plots (and some associated data) that was available at the specified time A description of the plot viewer controls is provided HERE An overview of the products currently accessible via the plot viewer is provided HERE |
|
As the name suggests the tool provides a timeline of events that have occurred within the a given period (currently set to fixed monthly intervals). Where there is a possibility for event verification, in particular via in-situ observations, then the events are highlighted and additional data to support verification and/or product commentary added. It should be noted that this activity does not follow events in real time and is primarily about post event reconstruction and assessment. A description of the timeline interface is provided HERE | |
| Provides access to a large array of relevant high quality data from current and historical science missions. AMDA incorporates many advanced features including data mining and visualization tools that can help to identify intervals corresponding to particular conditions | |
SSA/SWE Data Browsing and Analysis tool |
The H-ESC currently provides several user driven or on request modeling tools to support case study analysis.
| Provides CME propagation and arrival analysis based on the Drag Based Model for locations within the ecliptic. Use the custom interface to specify the initial conditions and target body | |
| Is a Java based tool that provides CME/CIR/SEP propagation and arrival time modeling and also tracking of Heliospheric structures using white light J-maps. It incorporates a number of community provided CME and CIR lists and is also connected to science quality data for visualization of in-situ and remote observations. | |
| Coming soon...The WSA-Enlil MHD based model has become a reference in the space weather community for solar wind and transient propagation modeling. Since Enlil is compute intensive H-ESC does not current provide a user driven access. The missing Enlil output from the existing runs (use PLOTS to identify a time of interest) can be provided on request. There is also some capacity to run user dedicated runs of the Enlil model which can be requested through this interface. |
If you have any tailored model run outputs these can be collected from your dedicated results page - Coming Soon
